“My wife and I absolutely love coming to Pho Le. The food and service here are consistently excellent. Every time we visit, we order the grilled fish with rice wrappers and fresh mint vegetables — it’s become our go-to dish, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a special night out, Pho Le delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“Gao Vietnamese Kitchen has won my heart over or should I say my stomach..haha If you love Vietnamese food then Gao is a must-visit gem with its authentic and unique cuisine that truly impresses on every level. Each dish we savored at this cute and cozy Dorchester restaurant was a culinary treat and delight, hitting all the right spots, from the lip-smacking banh coun to the addictive chicken and banana blossom salad, every bite was a journey of flavors. The free ice tea added a touch of authenticity to the dining experience as if I were back in Vietnam. The vegetarian pho and fresh spring rolls were exceptional, showcasing the diverse offerings on their extensive menu that’s priced right for the large portions. Moreover, the warm and diligent staff elevated our dining experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The owner Sy Le was the nicest guy, he really cares about his customers and his employees and it shows! Gao Vietnamese Kitchen is a standout among Vietnamese restaurants, capturing both heart and stomach with its delicious food and exceptional service.“

“I went back — and although my first time around ordering an ube matcha was very mediocre, i loved ther banana saigonese latte, banana matcha, and bbq chicken banh mi.

the latte was decadent, creamy, and had the right amount of banana flavor. the banana matcha had that deep matcha taste while complementing well with the banana cream. the banh mi came in a large portion, and was flavorful with clean flavors.

i will say, two years ago i got the ube matcha latte, and although it looked pretty, it was relatively bland and I didn’t get much of a matcha or ube flavor. the drink then also wasn’t smooth, with lots of little chunky bits inside. perhaps they fired that barista, or got a better hold of quality control.

also a very cute study / work space with wifi and outlets!“

“I've been coming here for years and absolutely love your Pad Kee Mao and Tom Yum Soup. Between your mango fried rice, spicy chicken wings, crab rangoon and the refreshing Jasmine limeade, it's always the perfect meal. Plus, my daughter can't get enough of the mango smoothie. Also, Thank you Pat & Burt for your service.“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“Phin has quickly become one of my favorite coffee places in Boston.“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

“My favorite place. We come down from Marblehead both to eat in and do take out. Food is delicious and they do a wonderful job of packing up food for take out. Everything is so fresh and tasty we are never disappointed.“

“Excellent food and service! Will try it again soon!“

“Good iced coffee 😝 and the people are very nice“

“We tried two amazing sandwiches at Banh Mi Huong: the Banh Mi Ga (Five-spice chicken) and the Banh Mi Bo (Lemongrass steak). Both were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The wait was short, and I liked that you can see your name and estimated time on the board. We ordered takeout, but there were tables available for dining in as well. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and comfortable, and the service was great. I would definitely recommend Banh Mi Huong for a satisfying meal.“

“Delicious!!! Tried the beef banh mi and it was so so good. They STUFF it with delicious pickled vegetables and the beef is super tender and flavorful. The bread is perfect. It's a big sandwich and they do not skimp on anything. It was so fresh and perfect. I miss living in Allston but I'm definitely coming back to eat here weekly.“

“1. I'll come here again. “Moms and Pops” joint.
2. Atmosphere not the most appealing, but my Fried Rice Noodle with chopped up fried tofu was lovely. Not oily or tons of salt. Just Lovely to eat. The portion was reasonable. Their sweet soy something sauce with it was lovely.
3. This desert, which I didn't quite get it should be some Yuka desert. It was lovely too. Should it be warm or cool? Mine was room temperature. I like it too. I like it. Don't expect great service, but some engagement. I'm okay with it.“

“Food is great, ordered a pho and a spring roll 😋“

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“Seafood“

“I am no expert on Vietnamese food but have toured Vietnam (4 cities) on 2 occasions. Had dinner (takeout) last night at Saigon Hut. It continues to offer fantastic and delicious food 5 out of 5.“

“This place is a true hole in the wall AS IT SHOULD BE. We dream about returning to Hanoi daily, and when the nostalgia is hitting particularly hard, this is the only real spot you could possibly get a true Banh Mi, vibes and all, to take you back.“
